interesting project.
i was reading the DIY projects in Bikes for Honda mostly & thought no one is in Yamaha now a days.
I have 1, of my dad, he wanted to sale it as my family got the feeling i drive too fast. but im holding it for now...
anyways, i was thinking to do some minor modifications to it, or if it can be revived properly, so searched for the Yamaha threads...
i wud definitely get some pointers from u & @vickytulla & others in this league wen i plan to start.
Good luck for ur pj...
